Once I start Chiropractic care do I need to continue going for the rest of my life?

No you do not need to get ongoing treatment once your condition is resolved. We focus on short term care with long term results. It will always be your choice to continue on a wellness program once your condition has been corrected just as you would do with periodic Dental or Vision care. Many people choose wellness programs due to the fact that they continue to perform activities in their daily lives which led to the condition they were originally treated for. Wellness is important, but it is not a requirement.
